Welcome to Rathole Radio number 65. It’s hard to believe we’ve reached 65 already but there it is. I played my usual mix of eclectic independent tunes and chatted away with everyone listening live. I skipped playing an acoustic tune as we had a packed show anyway. I hope you enjoy it 🙂

13:56 – M.A.S.T – The Rise Of Eastern Star – License Unknown – This track was an email suggestion from Ratko Vujanovic. This group did the music for a Guild Wars podcast called Relics of Orr apparently.

I played a promo for The Bugcast which is hosted by fellow AMP members Dave and Caroline Lee.

24:12 – A Minor Theory – Dream In Blue – CC BY-NC Licensed – From CCHits – A slice of retro sounding electro pop that I really enjoyed. It has a very 80’s feel.

27:44 – Tabloid – The Junkie Violin Player – CC BY-SA Licensed – From CCHits – A UK band I heard via CCHits and wanted to share with you. Find them on Jamendo.

I had an email from Ted Strait, also a listener of Linux Outlaws to ask if he could rebroadcast the show on http://www.radioreclaimed.com/. Of course I said yes.

64:00 – David Rovics – Occupy Wall Street – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Friend of the show, former guest and roadshow participant David Rovics with a studio recording of his new song about the reasons to occupy wall street. Obviously a big movement going on right now.

Music Sources and Licensing: A few of the tracks in this show are from the artists own personal websites and don’t contain licensing information. That’s why they are listed as unknown. The individual licenses are listed next to each track, where known. If there is no license listed you must assume all rights are reserved on that song.

06:50 – Lejo Harmeson & Essence – Complicated Man – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this on the CCHits weekly review show and liked it. Got to the site, listen to the shows and vote, we need people to participate!

15:41 – Partition 36 – The Optic Nerve – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played a track called “I Love Penguins” by this artist some time ago and this is a great follow up. Lovely slice of industrial sounding electro. Thanks to GamerChick02 for the tip.

21:38 – Derelict Earth – The Darkest Serenity – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French metal band (from Grenoble), you don’t see many of those. They’ve obviously been listening to some early Metallica I think, and that’s no bad thing.

43:14 – LIVE TUNE – Medicine Man by Dan Lynch – A tune I wrote some years ago and I have a feeling I might have played it live on the show before. I only realised after I’d done it. Well never mind, people seemed to enjoy it anyway. I’m hoping to soon record an album of tunes like this that have gotten away over the years.

48:49 – ‘Til Dusk – One By One – License Unknown – Emailed to me by Chris from the band. They’re based in Southampton in the UK. This track is taken from their debut album Cold Lust which is released May 16th and you can find out more at www.tildusk.co.uk

57:59 – Dual Core – Magnificent Seven (feat Nerdcore) – All Rights Reserved- A big thanks to Mark Horsley for emailing this track to me. I’ve heard Dual Core a few times but not this track. It’s from the 2009 album Next Level which you can get on Bandcamp and other places and it features almost everyone in Nerdcore it seems. Beefy, MC Frontalot and more.

Sorry everyone. I think there was a problem with the upload. I have replaced the file now. So you should be able to download the mp3 properly. Libsyn usually reports partial uploads but it didn’t this time. Grr!
